It’s the last night at the end of the year, when the old year comes to an end and the new year comes.
It has extremely important special significance in the hearts of Chinese people. It brings family reunion, bids farewell to the old and welcomes the new, and hopes for a better future.
The day before, Zhou's clinic had put up a notice of closure. It would not be open from New Year's Eve to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. We hope to tell each other that if there is an emergency, you can go to a big hospital for treatment; there are old neighbors around, and they are all very young.
Note that no one wants to see a doctor during the holidays, so there is no impact on the clinic.
Early that morning, the family set out to buy ingredients.
Zhou Sheng drove the car, Su Quan took the passenger seat, and grandpa and dad were in the back seat accompanying Jie Laer to the farmer's market.
People in the city are more accustomed to going to supermarkets, which will also display New Year specials, but my grandfather prefers fresh ingredients from the first channel. He even keeps the number of a beef and mutton vendor on his phone and makes an appointment for beef and mutton to be slaughtered that day.
.
As we set off by car, the streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, coupled with the simple buildings, it lived up to its name as an ancient capital.
Dad leaned his head to the front row and said, "Has Xiao Su spent the Chinese New Year here before?"
Su Quan said: "No, I usually don't go home during the summer vacation, but I will definitely go back during the Spring Festival. This is the first time. Thank you grandpa and uncle for the hospitality."
"Hey, you kid, you have said thank you so many times in the past two days. Don't be polite to our family. We have known all our lives that you are introverted. You are the only good friend in the entire university. Now you two can work in the same unit.
That’s really God’s help…”
"And if nothing else, those bacon sausages sent by your family taste really special. His grandpa loves them."
Grandpa chuckled: "I'm okay. Mainly Zhenxi likes to eat it. It's sweet."
"I love to eat. After a year, I will ask them to send it again. The stuff is not worth anything. The farmer's pork is all dried by himself..."
Laughing and laughing.
A carload of people arrived at the place.
There are many vehicles at the entrance of the market, and many locals know that they can get good products here during the New Year Festival.
The vendors were open on the last day of the New Year, and they also brought out a lot of good stuff.
For example, the beef and mutton ordered by grandpa are really fresh. The Hui people wearing leather hats and the live cattle and sheep brought from the Qinbei Highlands are slaughtered on the spot. There is no fishy smell at all. There are also wild fish from the largest reservoirs in the three surrounding provinces.
, the largest grass carp weighed 13 pounds and was watched by a group of people.
The bigger the fish is, the more the meat will become stale.
Grandpa chose a 'cultured sturgeon' step by step, but actually looking at its fierce appearance... well, those who know the business will understand.
There are also giant salamanders, but you may not be able to get used to them. This thing is purely farmed. Artificial breeding was promoted in the Qinling Mountains many years ago. The meat is fat and tender but not much different from catfish. However, the internal organs can be used as medicine after they are dried. Grandpa tried it.
...The texture is no longer as good as what was written in ancient books. After all, this thing is not fed with dew fish and shrimp fry in the mountains, but high-protein feed.
Ten pounds each of beef and mutton, all parts available, stewed in soup, stir-fried, braised...
It seems that people in many areas are accustomed to having leftovers after the Chinese New Year.
It is commonly known as having more than enough every year.
There is no need to go into details about all kinds of vegetables. I bought them all, and several people were feeling hot in the winter.
"There is still one chicken and one duck left. I will show my uncle and grandpa tonight." Su Quan said.
Zhou Sheng said: "Then you guys get in the car first? To avoid getting cold, take Jieral with you."
"Zhenxi, Zhenxi, don't call me by foreign names from now on." The father said dissatisfied, and then waved his hand: "Okay, you go back quickly and start work early. Your grandpa calculated the time and found that dinner starts at 7:40.
"
Chinese medicine and metaphysics, Zhou Shouming may know fortune telling, but he still has a good grasp of the old times, and it can be regarded as an intangible cultural heritage.
Today is definitely a busy day and time is tight.
Say it again.
She didn't have to go to work today on Monday, and Su Quan had to go to work all night. He had an early meal and a basket of dumplings in the evening.
Let grandpa and dad take Jie Laer back to the car first, and then the two of them walked towards the poultry shop in the distance...
After all, Su Quan is a child from the mountains. He kept making comments along the way: "It looks like it was raised. Do you know how to tell the difference between free-range chickens? The meat is firm and will never gain weight. There must be mountain scars on the paws, and the coat color may not be beautiful."
, but at first glance, he is definitely full of energy.”
Zhou Sheng couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't think you want to be a doctor. You can go back to raising chickens."
"Actually, I really have this idea. If I don't find an internship unit at the beginning, I will definitely go home and stay for a while to see if the hospital there can accept people. If not... my family actually contracted to raise chickens on half of the mountain...
…”
“Do you know about targeted poverty alleviation?”
"Hey, you are quite positive?"
Su Quan shrugged: "You don't feel it, people in the mountains feel it clearly..."
Selecting a shop, Su Quan picked two chickens and ducks and asked the boss to slaughter them. The hens were still carrying immature chickens. Qin Zhongren refused to eat them, so the boss habitually threw them away, and Su Quan even ordered him to pick them up.
Come back.
At the slaughtering stall, Zhou Sheng fiddled with his phone and took a few photos of Lao He to report on his trip.
The Lu family definitely doesn't have that kind of fireworks. It is estimated that the ingredients used for the New Year's Eve dinner are special-grade airlifted from various places.
When he just raised his head...
His eyes were glazed over for a moment, and then he kept following something.
Su Quan came back carrying two plastic bags. When he saw his appearance, he became confused: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
Zhou woke up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed not far away: "Nuo, do you still remember that person?"
Su Quan looked around and was also stunned: "Looks familiar, so familiar, oh, who is it, who is it..."
Su Quan forgot, Zhou Yi will never forget...
The impression was so deep.
"Liu Jing."
Hiss~!
Su Quan suddenly stamped his foot: "Just bring us as an intern, right? You idiot, you have a very good memory, right?"
It’s really not a question of whether your memory is good or not…
That day.
If it hadn't been for the nosebleed caused by being hit by the young lady, the jade pendant left by the ancestor would not have been activated. The probability of such a thing is too small. It is hard to say when it was activated without any one time.
Coupled with the matter of the internship unit, Liu Jing is definitely a great benefactor in Zhou Yisheng's entire life.
"Would you like to go over and say hello?" Su Quan asked.
Zhou Sheng nodded without thinking: "Absolutely. She seems to want to buy something too. Don't you know everything? Go and help."
I haven’t seen Liu Jing since my internship.
Later, I went to Africa in a hurry and had no time to interact with each other.
Pediatrics is also far away from the emergency department. Even if someone is transferred to another department, it is not Zhou Yisheng’s responsibility.
"Ah, is this good? We don't know each other well, it's just a one-time acquaintance. It's hard to tell whether people will remember us or not."
"You still have to say hello even if you don't remember. Isn't that the end of introducing yourself? Don't forget, it was this sister who brought you into the central courtyard. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to do anything..."
Su Quan was stunned...
He actually remembered it.
yes.
How did you convince Liu Jing? It happened suddenly, and I forgot to ask later.
He thought that Zhou Sheng had already taken his arm and walked over, and in a blink of an eye he was behind Liu Jing——
